There are many shopping districts and marketplaces in Fairhaven where adventurers can buy what they need. In particular Curmesteau, Manticore & Rose, and Escape cater specifically to adventurers. Adventuring parties hoping to sell their treasures directly without middlemen can buy permits for a stall in the informal open-air markets in the City of Lights such as the grand Distant Exchange marketplace, the bazaar in Chalice Center, and the smaller Southgate Market and Oldtown Hollow in the Grangehall Ward. More established shopping areas can be found in almost every corner of the city, of course, though few adventurers are willing to tie themselves down so much.
Professional merchants, on the other hand, usually conduct business in bulk and trade in one of the city's several warehouse districts. Broadstreets and Weaver's Row in the Whiteroof Ward are large districts where merchants send goods out along the rivers to Scions Sound, while Archway is more of a secure holding place for merchants sending their goods overland. These districts all serve as repositories for goods coming into the city as well before they are moved on to the marketplaces of Fairhaven to be sold and many shopping districts nearby have fresh goods and new opportunities for starting cheap businesses.
